ICD-10-CM Code S92.32 Fracture of second metatarsal bone. ICD Code S92.32 is a non-billable code. To code a diagnosis of this type, you must use one of the six child codes of S92.32 that describes the diagnosis 'fracture of second metatarsal bone' in more detail.
#151 12 Steps to healing and running with a metatarsal stress fracture
The main causes of a metatarsal fracture are:
This can include any and all of the following:

Stress fractures are tiny cracks in a bone caused by overuse and repetitive force. This differs to an acute fracture which occurs from a one time injury – such as a nasty ankle sprain resulting in an acute fracture of the ankle bone.
In ICD-10-CM a fracture not indicated as displaced or nondisplaced should be coded to displaced, and a fracture not designated as open or closed should be coded to closed. While the classification defaults to displaced for fractures, it is very important that complete documentation is encouraged.
The metatarsal bones are the long bones in your foot that connect your ankle to your toes. They also help you balance when you stand and walk. A sudden blow or severe twist of your foot, or overuse, can cause a break, or acute (sudden) fracture, in one of the bones.
The metatarsals are the long bones in the foot that connect the toes to the midfoot. The metatarsals are numbered one through five, starting with the big toe. So the second metatarsal is the long bone of the second toe.
The second and third dorsal interossei muscles attaches to the third metatarsal bone. The second dorsal interossei from the medial side of the bone and the third dorsal interossei from the lateral side. The function of the muscle is to spread the toes.
Fractures are coded using the appropriate 7th character extension for subsequent care for encounters after the patient has completed active treatment of the fracture and is receiving routine care for the fracture during the healing or recovery phase.
D (subsequent encounter) describes any encounter after the active phase of treatment, when the patient is receiving routine care for the injury during the period of healing or recovery. S (sequela) indicates a complication or condition that arises as a direct result of an injury.
The general consensus is to use the fracture care codes designated as “closed treatment without manipulation” and bill the initial E/M with modifier 57.
forefootThe metatarsal bones are the bones of the forefoot that connect the distal aspects of the cuneiform (medial, intermediate and lateral) bones and cuboid bone to the base of the five phalanges of the foot. There are five metatarsal bones, numbered one to five from the hallux (great toe) to the small toe.
In humans the metatarsal bones, those of the foot proper, are larger than the corresponding bones of the hands, the metacarpal bones. The tarsals and metatarsals form the arches of the foot, which give it strength and enable it to act as a lever.
Metatarsal Bones These elongated bones are numbered 1–5, starting with the medial side of the foot. The first metatarsal bone is shorter and thicker than the others. The second metatarsal is the longest. The base of the metatarsal bone is the proximal end of each metatarsal bone.
The ICD code S923 is used to code Jones fracture. A Jones fracture is a fracture in the meta-diaphyseal junction of the fifth metatarsal of the foot. The proximal end of the metatarsal, where the Jones fracture occurs, is near the midportion of the foot, on the fifth ray (of which the 5th toe belongs). Those who sustain a Jones fracture have pain ...
S92.32. Non-Billable means the code is not sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis. Use a child code to capture more detail. ICD Code S92.32 is a non-billable code.
Note: A fracture not indicated as displaced or nondisplaced should be coded to displaced A fracture not indicated as open or closed should be coded to closed
